Introduction

The Electro Harmonix Rams Head pedal is an iconic distortion pedal that was popularized in the 1970s by David Gilmour of Pink Floyd. It is highly sought after by guitarists for its warm and smooth overdrive tones, as well as its ability to deliver a wide range of distortion sounds.

How the Pedal Works

The Rams Head pedal is a distortion pedal that works by clipping the signal from your guitar, creating a distorted and overdriven sound. It is based on a classic circuit design that uses a combination of diodes and transistors to achieve its unique sound. The pedal has a simple control layout that includes knobs for volume, sustain, and tone, allowing you to shape the tone of the distortion to your liking.
